Q: Is the mechanic at fault if recent repairs contributed to my accident?
A:These are tough cases. We've got to be able to prove that the mechanic's work was directly responsible for causing the car accident. For instance, you may not have stopped at a red light and you just got your car back from having your brakes fixed and it's your claim or allegation that the brakes didn't work. That may be a good case if we can prove that your brakes actually didn't work at the time of the accident, but this requires you to do a couple of things. One, we have to have your car inspected immediately. We have to be able to show exactly what the mechanic did or didn't do that caused your brakes not to work at the time of your accident. So if you have a case like this, please call us and we can help you evaluate whether you'd have a good case or not.
